## Break-related messages

These messages appear when attempting to use the break feature. They are informational screens, not error codes.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Breaks Not Enabled">
    **What it means**: Your current lock session does not have breaks enabled. Your Keyholder has configured this session without the break feature.

    **What to do**: Contact your Keyholder if you need breaks enabled. They can modify session settings from the dashboard.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Too Soon for a Break">
    **What it means**: You've recently taken a break and must wait before taking another one. Your Keyholder configured a minimum interval between breaks.

    **What to do**: The screen displays how long you must wait. Return to the lock menu and try again after the waiting period ends.

    <Info>
      The waiting period is calculated from when your last break ended, not when it started.
